Adult Webmaster Who Outed Mason Wyler’s HIV Status Missing And Feared Dead
Mark Wilson (above, left)—the adult webmaster whose company Great Atlantic Media hosts sites for a variety of porn stars and bloggers—has not been heard from for nearly two months, and many suspect he may be dead. After disappearing last Halloween weekend outside of Atlanta, Georgia, clients and colleagues have been frantically trying to locate Wilson, who hasn’t returned multiple emails, tweets, and phone calls, even from his closest industry friends.
Today, affiliate blogger DewayneInSD (who is one of Wilson/Great Atlantic Media’s clients) posted the rambling update below, which reveals some of the cryptic details surrounding Wilson’s disappearance:
On or around October 28th 2013 Mark Wilson (according to neighbors) disappeared from home in Atlanta Georgia. According to my source in the adult community a friend of Marks contacted Atlanta PD sometime the first week of November. They did a welfare check and spoke with neighbors who said he was last seen at home on Sunday October 27th. Police obtained an order to force entry and no one was found in the home. Hospitals and accident logs were checked to no avail. At this point in mid December this is still a Missing Persons Case.
Because of the uncertainty here, no definitive finding of a body or accident scene I have refrained from posting until today. I became aware of the situation on the first of December since Mark was usually unavailable during the Thanksgiving break I was not overly concerned. I was also in a bit of shock as well, this is not the way you expect someone to go without a trace.
Mark usually purchased his web traffic and server packages (he was a reseller of bandwidth and had servers located in three locations) from Level 3 and Lunar pages in 3 month allotments. He made a normal buy in late Sept covering October,November and December. One of those service providers Lunarpages owns the server this Site DeWayne in San Diego is hosted on. A shut down and transfer procedure has been announced with services do [sic] to terminate on December 23rd 2013
In addition to Dewayne’s blog, other sites hosted by Wilson’s Great Atlantic Media include Brent Corrigan’s, JD Phoenix’s, Marc Dylan’s, Gorgeous Boys, Gay Porn Gossip, JetSetMen’s affiliate program “JetSetCash” (not that anyone uses it), and many more. Because Wilson hasn’t paid his providers, all Great Atlantic Media hosting services will be terminated next Monday the 23rd, so hopefully everyone’s made plans to have their domains transferred.
Mark Wilson is perhaps best known among porn fans not as a webmaster, but as the blogger behind “Gay Porn Gossip.” In August of 2010, Wilson took it upon himself to publish gay porn star Mason Wyler’s HIV status (which had been leaked to him by someone inside NextDoorStudios) on Gay Porn Gossip, effectively outing Wyler as positive and eventually ruining his career. Why Wyler never pursued criminal and/or civil charges against Wilson is still a mystery to me, but I guess sometimes things just have a way of working themselves out on their own…
